As one of the sponsors of the Sustainable Buildings Industry
Council (SBIC) the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) is proud to inform you about SBIC’s 2011 Beyond Green™ High-Performance
Building Awards. This unique program recognizes buildings, initiatives and
products that shape, inform, and catalyze the high-performance building market.
The winners of the Beyond
Green™ High-Performance Building Awards will be invited to present their
projects on Capitol Hill as part of an educational briefing for lawmakers and
the public. This presentation and poster session gives winners an opportunity
to discuss the challenges and opportunities for delivering better buildings
with policymakers.
The 2011 Award program
will also feature an afternoon session held Catholic University's School of
Architecture and Planning. Area students and local building practitioners will
have the opportunity to understand winning projects in greater detail, and ask
questions.
Winning projects will also
be published on the Whole Building Design Guide Web site (www.wbdg.org). Additional recognition will
include an announcement in SBIC's newsletter, a handsome plaque, posting on the
Council's Web site and inclusion in SBIC technical guidelines and publications.
